I get that a lot.. or your tires are flat. How do you drive that thing that low? It's fun to watch people scratch thier heads..

Here's my Audi Cabriolet (picture taken in California when I bought it last summer):

And my Porsche 928S4 currently awaiting an engine rebuild :-(

Here is my ride.


Ain't nothing finer than 2mm of hardened plastic rolling down steep hills. I be rolling and Barbie Big Wheel be hating. Peace.

This is my beast. I am currently in the process of building it up to build the ultimate surf/dive/camping base. Are there any other Cruiserheads out there?

Snaz - I want your ride! Bet it's good on gas!

Ron99 - who's doing your engine rebuild? I trust you're not going with MCL or Weissach.

Good to see some Porsche's & BMW's on here.

Except for 2 cars, I've only ever owned German vehicles.

a '67 Resto Cal Beetle with Gene Berg blue printed Engine, MK2 Golf GTi 16v (totally stock & mint condition) & '02 Mini Cooper S with John Cooper Works mods being the highlights. (although you can argue that the Mini isn't really German).

Here's my current rides...

Daily Driver (Sorry for the low quality cell phone pics)





Weekend/Summer Car - although it gets driven more than we intended!

Hey VFX. I have also tended towards the German cars and have driven all the brands at one time or another. My rebuild will be done by myself and a buddy of mine who is a tech at MCL and also does alot of custom VW/show car stuff as well. He is very talented. I dealt with Weissach at one point and liked the folks there. However, they were expensive and tended to charge book rate. I moved over to Scan Automotive in North Van and was quite happy with them. But having a buddy who can do it for me will save me a bundle on labour which would probably be 80% of the cost. We are also going to do some customizing during the process. We have had the intake and valve covers powder coated and we will use alot of nice stainless fasteners. Upgrading all the vacuum line to silicone and I have made some custom gauge faces and am upgrading some of the cabin lighting to LEDs.

BTW, love the boxsters. it's a great roaster. Have you driven the Cayman? I got to drive a Cayman S on an autocross course and it was a blast. Then had a professional race driver take me for a lap to see what it could really do :-)

hey Ron

Sounds like your 928 is gonna be real nice!

You're so lucky having a Porsche tech as a buddy. If I had that I would probably save myself at least $1000 a year!

It's cost me $1200 for a service & fluid change, $1000 for front rotors & pads & $120 for a set of locking bolts already this year and it's only March! But they did give me one of their trucks to drive whilst the work was being done.

My 987 is totally stock. It's probably the slowest car Porsche make (I don't count the truck!) but it's totally awesome to drive. Especially when the sun's out.

I drove the Cayman S & I was blown away. I think with the '09 model being available with LSD it's probably the best handling current Porsche. I'd love to have one but my want for a convertible took over.

Do you go out for Porsche meets with PCA Vancouver or any other club?

Any more Porsche owners on Canreef?
